Briefings for councillors

Affordable Housing and Mental Health

Too many people with serious mental health conditions live in insecure or unsuitable housing, or have no permanent home at all. As Councillors have a key role in implementing the mental health strategy and improving mental health in their communities, we have created a briefing on housing with five questions to ask their authorities and partners.

No Health without Mental Health

Ten questions for your council

This briefing provides councillors and health champions with ten questions to ask their public health teams. It aims to help local authorities promote the wellbeing of their population and improve the recovery of people with mental health problems by providing information about the size, impact and cost of the unmet need to treat mental health problems, to prevent them from arising and to promote wellbeing.
